Day 273

Everybody in the pool!

Day 272

To the Light-Rail (because this was more important than finishing I-485)!

Day 271

Nothing like a shiny, clean pot.

Day 270

This is what I saw when trying to use the urbanspoon app to find someplace to eat dinner. It just kept spinning and spinning and spinning. In the end, I gave up and went to Portofino's. So I guess it kinda worked.

Day 269

Another computer. This time I just removed the hard drive (in my hand) and plan on recycling the rest.

Day 268

Trying to fix dead computers. Not that anybody wants a tower/desktop PC anymore. A true lesson in futility.

Day 267

An actual fortune from a fortune cookie. "Look around yourself. Your answer is nearby." Philosophical and mysterious.

Day 266

Ahh, Jersey Mike's...a small slice of home. Probably the closest thing to real subs I could hope to find here in the south.

Day 265

These were being sold along with Easter candy and stuffed Easter animals (chicks, rabbits, etc.). I know its hard enough trying to weave things like candy and the Easter Bunny into the whole Easter celebration when you look at it from a strictly religious point of view, but how do baby dinosaurs enter into it?

Day 264

The only possible way I could lose is if someone had nine aces.

Day 263

Out for a birthday celebration. Mine, that is.

Day 262

I've now added a broken DVD player to my bag of random electronic parts. If I were just a little bit smarter, I could build a really nice computer. Possibly a home theater PC.

Day 261

After years of faithful service, my phone case usefulness has come to an end. Might get the pipes playing Amazing Grace as it gets tossed in the trash.

Day 260

Been surrounded by kids all day. Tonight, I'm going to eat like one.

Day 259

I got what I wanted for valentines day. Money. A whole dollar and ninety-eight cents. Thanks, Rolling Stone! Should have cancelled a lot sooner.

Day 258

Books can be made into video games, eh? This would have made book reports a lot easier when I was a kid. Easier, but probably very inaccurate. And, honestly, if they made a game based on Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome, I still wouldn't like it.

Day 257

So, when the little red light came on the mouse I knew it had to be one of three things:
1. Needs new batteries
2. Self destruct had been initiated
3. It was the new hub of the internet

Day 256

Really AT&T? I pay how much each month for service and you decide to only give me spotty shoddy inconsistent 3G reception in my apartment? Really? If I wanted plain old Edge, I would only pay for that. But I don't, do I? You're just making this inevitable switch to Verizon a lot easier.

Day 255

Still don't feel great. But I did manage to make it to the gym.

Day 254

My nose is beyond stuffed. This is my neti pot. Without this, the sinus pressure would be unbearable.

Day 253

Must be Italian.

Day 252

Hmmmm...

Day 251

It all comes down to this. The Super Bowl. Hopefully this will not the last game we will see this year.

Day 250

Yup, again. Same result, too. Unfortunately.

Day 249

Poker night.

Day 248

Looking through a bottle

Day 247

New Flapper! You can't really see it, but its called The Hornet V. Of all things to name "The Hornet V" it's a small flap of rubber inside a toilet.

Day 246

Really? Great. Looks like I need a new toilet flapper valve. Just add it to my life's ever increasing, Sisyphean "to do" list.
